This is my first tab. And Im not an amzing guitar player either so bare with me.
For the verses i use D D -zick- no sound for like a sec then U
And for the chorus I use a more full on strum which I dont really have time to
write down. I might put it in later
(I was taught to call this smacking sideway motion a zick. Not sure what the proper word is)
[Verse 1]
G
Phone rings
Don't wanna pick it up
D
I'm so scared
I'm gonna say too much
Em
I tip toe around your questions
C
Why you gotta dig so deep?
G
Tears fall
And the glasses break
D
Inside these walls
The floor boards shake
Em
From outside
It's alright
C
Long as you looking from fifty feet
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I been trying trying
Hold my head up high
C
I been lying lying
Keeping it all inside
G
Trying not to trust you, yeah
D
Take another leaf, I'm a book yeah yeah?
[Chorus]
G
I'm done, I give up
D
I don't wanna pretend no more
Em
That's it, so what
C
I've lost a friend before
G
Gonna say it like it is
D
No more wondering what if
That ain't the way you oughta live
Em
Cause I don't want you to love me
C
If you don't wanna love me for me
GD
Cause I don't want you to love me
EmC
If you don't wan' love me for me
[Verse 2]
G
A doll house is all that you could see
D
But it's so far from my reality
Em
I got problems, I got issues
C
Sometimes it's all too much for me
G
Wrap it up with a pretty little bow
D
But there are some things you can't sugarcoat
Em
Give it to you anyway
C
Even though it won't taste so sweet
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I been trying trying
Hold my head up high
C
I been lying lying
Keeping it all inside
Em
Maybe I could trust you, yeah
C
Take another leaf, I'm a book yeah yeah?
[Chorus]
G
I'm done, I give up
D
I don't wanna pretend no more
Em
That's it, so what
C
I've lost a friend before
G
Gonna say it like it is
D
No more wondering what if
That ain't the way you oughta live
Em
Cause I don't want you to love me
C
If you don't wanna love me for me
[Bridge]
Em
Sick of all the fighting
All the slamming of the door
C
The pain, the parents, too deep you know
G
Step back, step back
Can you see it through my eyes?
D
I know, I know
Maybe a surprise
Em
Don't wanna be perceived for something that I'm not
C
Just wanna be accepted for the little that I got
G
If you could see me now in my glass house
D
Not ready to let you in
[Chorus]
G
I'm done, I give up
D
I don't wanna pretend no more
Em
That's it, so what
C
I've lost a friend before
G
Gonna say it like it is
D
No more wondering what if
That ain't the way you oughta live
Em
Cause I don't want you to love me
C
If you don't wanna love me for me
GD
Cause I don't want you to love me
EmC
If you don't wan' love me for me
G
